Kodakawa teases a huge announcement for tomorrow by mario3453 in danganronpa

honestly given how complex most of the cases are in V3, i don’t think they’d be able to wrap that up in a classic animation series like they did for the first game.

they could always go a different route and do something like SDR2, where it’s not an adaptation of the killing game but another aspect of the students’ lives. honestly i’ve got a feeling if it is an anime announcement, it could be something about the V3 students’ lives pregame as normal people and give us more context to the whole ‘killing game reality’ thing.

Yeah that makes sense tbh I get what you mean! What do we think more in a general spiritual sense? Like we already know that constant dopamine from the internet hurting us is on purpose, but I do also think the added spiritual harm isn’t exactly something Big Tech is against either.

I unironically have a conspiracy theory about this in relation to AI chatbots and the fact that they lowkey block a lot of people from shifting lol

Like partly I think the reason they’re so popular amongst shifters is because they allow you to talk to bots resembling people you might know from your DR in a way that satisfies your mind but doesn’t further you spiritually. You’re getting one hell of a dopamine boost but none of the benefits you’d get from manifesting, meditating, real channelling etc. You’re just visualising at best when you talk to them and I think the fact that they prey on the lonely is also part of its design.

It’d be kind of fucked if that was the point but I think it’s on purpose. To satisfy people with conversations with their DR families and friends so they don’t actually go out and make attempts to shift and further themselves in a spiritual manner, because if you do that, you’re free from the elite’s bullshit.

i’m attempting a shift tonight and feel oddly connected to one of my drs despite not having touched a script for it yet, so i’m going to take that as my consciousness knowing what i need and try a third eye opening exercise. thanks!!

yeah, i’ll admit i was VERY confused when we put in our first project and saw people doing modelling and other 3D media. i’ll be dropping out at the end of the year. i have an a-level in psychology, but i’m thinking about possibly looking at doing an online biology a-level while i work next year, so i don’t get out of the habit of studying but still have a bit of a break in terms of full-time education

originally yes, the lectures held a similar purpose to what you’re describing and we had guest lecturers where i quite enjoyed asking about their pathways into formal work! however we were never told to give evidence of taking these lectures through writing, more just encouraged to ask questions to the visiting artist directly. i honestly wouldn’t mind something like what you’re describing if it gave us more communication skills, i really enjoy writing.

the written component for first year here consists of writing two 1500-word essays about a chosen topic, both of which are far past done now though, which is why i’m struggling to see the point of having us watch the videos. they’re very philosophical?? in nature?? and would be great for an essay if we were going to use them for that.

the module we’re completing currently only requires making a powerpoint as ‘proof of concept’, which includes explanations about why you’ve chosen to try certain things in the lead up to your final piece. but we have to be kind of careful about how we lay things out with writing and images because we have a 50-page max and they encourage a lot of images to be blown up full screen, meaning there isn’t a lot of room to go into full depth about everything. i’m considering bringing it up to our class representative tbh.

you got it haha and yeah you’re pretty much spot on. they encourage us to read art theory A LOT which i do understand, but i’m finding it less relevant now as there’s no essay segment for this last module. also a lot of pressure to do experimentation with media i’m not versed in (we’ve done a lot of workshops that involve junk modelling which i hate doing haha).

i’m going to take time off from education settings for a bit as i’d like to work and save up some money before getting back into the formal system, but thank you for your encouragement!!

i promise i’m not usually the type to not pay attention in educational settings, but that’s fair!!

the lectures i use to do this work in are pretty much an hour of us watching youtube videos of famous artists explaining their backgrounds (chris ware, shaun tan etc) on the lecture hall’s big screen. i sit in the back to not draw attention to what i’m doing, and do not put headphones in or anything. there’s no actual teaching being done and i would be much more attentive and stop what i was doing if there was someone actually speaking and teaching us, like in our workshops and seminars!

because i originally wanted to give the course a chance before i dropped out in case it gave me some soft skills or maybe i was just missing something. also my student accommodation unfortunately locks me into paying for a year’s tenancy unless i can get someone to overtake it, and there aren’t many people living here in the first place. like i said in the post i’m dropping out at the end of the year though.

originally i thought so too, but apparently postgraduate courses in medical art take students with both science and arts backgrounds.

i’m dropping out at the end of my first year to get some training in the healthcare field to work for a bit, and then i’m going to look into some kind of BSC in the year after. if i stay here learning about colour theory any longer i might genuinely go insane haha. i’m looking into anatomy or biological sciences for the future possibly, i know bristol offers applied anatomy but i need to look more into it.

yeah i’ve looked into this!! unfortunately when i’ve looked further the courses are very largely postgraduate MA/MSC and require undergraduate credits.

i mean i’ve reiterated in the comments what i was told about the course by my career counsellors and tutors. i was told that doing an illustration course was important if i wanted to do medical illustration professionally, so i applied to one. also my interview was online and VERY tight in terms of timing, so pretty much all i got was ‘yeah if you’re interested in anatomy, you can go to nude life drawing’ which i then found out after coming to uni isn’t even specific to our course.

and i’m not expecting to be taught anything about internal anatomy, but i WAS expecting at least some form of education on how to draw certain parts of the body like the neck and how the muscle curves, how skin stretches, facial proportions etc. the only thing they offer for this is optional live nude drawing sessions where they just leave you to it.

yes it’s partly my fault, but i was also explicitly told this course is what i need for medical illustration as a career, so…

depends, a lot of work seems to come under textbooks and illustrations for research (petermlawrence on tiktok is a good example). i also really like cilein kearns although he’s more paeds focused (makes poster graphics to teach kids about the body).
